Student Government Association

Strong emphasis is placed on student involvement in all facets of life at the College. The Southern Vermont College Student Government Association (SGA) works closely with faculty and staff to ensure that students' needs and concerns are addressed, students are represented on all standing committees, and student input is considered in the formulation of College policy. The President of the Association acts as the Student Representative to the Southern Vermont College Board of Trustees. The SGA selects two representatives for the Judicial Review Board and appoints students to serve on various other committees at the College.

Most of the social activities at the College are sponsored by the Student Government Association. The Association works with the Director of Campus Life to develop programs to enhance the co-curriculum. The SGA sponsors concerts, lectures, movies, ski trips, theatre trips, and intramural and club athletics. The Association also supports several student publications including the Mountain Press, Summit Yearbook, and the SVC Literary Magazine. A number of student-sponsored, social functions are held throughout the year, including different theme parties in the Student Association building and traditional events such as Family Weekend, and the Lecture-Artist Series. In addition, the SGA assists with the planning of the college's Annual Academic Awards Ceremony.
